On s'est aimé à cause [English translation]

We've loved each other because of

Because of summer

Which was painting all in pink the love of the city

Because of summer great dreams

Which we've been building

Around Adam and Eve

And of their paradise

Because of the atmosphere

Of spot and of moment

And of rags of childhood

Glued to our twenty years

We've loved each other because of... (because of... x3 )

But now do you see, we can't ignore

That we need to look a bit differently at the things

We've loved each other because of...

We need to love each other despite

Despite despite the rain

Falling on our summers

Despite the sky of soot

And the days without clarity

Despite all the great dreams

We've turned back from

Like Adam and like Eve from the lost paradise

Despite the fortune-tellings, of our indulgent hearts

Despite our accustomedness knitted through the years

We've loved each other because of... (because of... x3 )

But now do you see, we can't ignore

That we need to look a bit differently at the things

We've loved each other because of

Because of the atmosphere

Of spot and of moment

And of rags of childhood

Glued to our twenty years

We've loved each other because of... (because of... x3 )

But now do you see, we can't ignore

That we need to look a bit differently at the things

We've loved each other because of

We need to love each other despite, despite many things

But now, do you see, we can't ignore

That the love transforms and its apotheosis

It's when there is a cause... because of the ''despite''!
